Snickers Peanut Butter Pie

I hope you guys like pie. Because you’re going to see a lot of it over the next few weeks. Why?

Because it’s the Two Weeks of Pie! (#2weeksofpie)

November is all about getting ready for Thanksgiving, and pie is the star of Thanksgiving.

{What? You think the star is Turkey? Pfft.}

So, to get you ready for Thanksgiving and all things wonderful and pie, I’m going to share (at least) 6 pie recipes with you!

Aren’t you excited?

First up: Snickers Peanut Butter Pie.

But wait. Before we get into talking about how amazing this pie is, I have an announcement.

Jordan started a blog. {Really, I wonder why it’s taken so long.}

It’s called Let’s Do This Kids and I really have no idea what direction she’ll take it in. I don’t think she knows either, she just wants to be like her mom. 🙂 If you’re interested, go be her BFF. And remember, she’s only 7. So take the spelling, grammatical errors, and punctuation problems in stride, mmkay?

Alright, now back to this bad boy.

I think I impressed myself with this one. It’s a pie crust and a brownie base. Fabulous.

Then, I mixed up some fluff and peanut butter. Did you know that makes nougat? Rich, peanut buttery nougat? And I spread it on top the brownies.

Then I melted some caramels and added peanuts. And topped the pie with a hot fudge drizzle and some cut up Snickers bars.

You gotta make this pie. Really you do. Your in-laws will be awed by your greatness!

Hey, do you follow me on Facebook? Be sure to stop by my page tomorrow. Starting at 6am PST, I’m hosting a Facebook Pie Party! Full directions will be listed there, but the gist is that you share your favorite pie recipe (and a photo you took) on my Facebook wall. Then, throughout the day, I’ll share all your goodies.

Instructions

Stir melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt. Pour over crust.

Bake for 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before topping.

Stir together peanut butter and fluff in a large bowl. (You can use a hand mixer if you want.) Spread evenly over brownie layer.

Place caramels and milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat for about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Once the caramel is all melted together, stir in the peanuts and spread over the fluff mixture.

Warm your jar of hot fudge sauce in the microwave (about 20-30 seconds). Place in a ziploc bag with the tip cut off and drizzle over pie.
